Original 1746 coloured engraving by Jacques-Nicolas Bellin and Jakob van der Schley, depicting the dramatic eruption of Pico do Fogo on Fogo Island (São Filipe) in the Cape Verde Islands (Cabo Verde), with European sailing ships emphasizing its importance as a landmark in the Atlantic. This striking volcanic view illustrates one of the most recognizable natural features on the sea routes linking Portugal, the Canary Islands, West Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic Ocean.Original engraving on laid paper, total size: 25 x 17, in good condition. Good contrast. Sufficient margins, right side margin cut off.[NL] Deze originele gekleurde kopergravure toont de vulkanische uitbarsting van het eiland Fogo (op de prent aangeduid als Île de St. Philippe ou de Fuego) in de Kaapverdische Eilanden. De prent werd omstreeks 1746 gegraveerd door Jakob van der Schley (1715–1779) naar een ontwerp van de Franse hydrograaf Jacques-Nicolas Bellin (1703–1772) en verscheen in diens nautische beschrijvingen van de Atlantische Oceaan. Bellin, Ingénieur Hydrographe de la Marine, vervaardigde zijn kaarten en illustraties op basis van scheepsjournalen en verslagen van ervaren zeevaarders.De afbeelding toont de actieve stratovulkaan Pico do Fogo, die met zijn imposante rookkolom boven het eiland uittorent. Op de voorgrond varen een Europees zeilschip en een kleinere lokale boot, waardoor niet alleen de schaal van de uitbarsting wordt benadrukt, maar ook het maritieme belang van het eiland. De dramatisch weergegeven rookwolken behoren tot de fraaiste voorbeelden van achttiende-eeuwse gravurekunst, waarbij de graveur met duizenden fijne lijnen de beweging en dichtheid van vulkanische as wist te suggereren. De vruchtbare vulkanische bodem maakte het eiland belangrijk voor de landbouw, met name voor de wijnbouw en koffieteelt, terwijl de vulkaan tegelijkertijd een voortdurende bedreiging vormde voor de bewoners van plaatsen als São Filipe en de nederzettingen in de Chã das Caldeiras.Voor Europese zeevaarders was Fogo een belangrijk herkenningspunt op de zeeroutes tussen Portugal, de Canarische Eilanden, West-Afrika, Brazilië en het Caribisch gebied.…
